It is a very dense, artificial, iron-based alloy that is virtually indestructible. A sufficient amount is capable of surviving multiple nuclear explosions with no damage. A pure blade made of it is capable of cutting almost any known substance, with a couple of exceptions (one being the metal itself).
Creating even a small amount is astronomically expensive, and only a few people know the complete formula. It is created by mixing certain chemical resins together. The exact composition of these resins is a closely guarded secret of the United States government. When these resins are mixed and kept at a temperature of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit, the resulting liquid can be cast or worked into a particular shape. After eight minutes, the mixture sets and becomes solid. Its molecular structure is extremely stable, and its shape can only be altered by precise molecular rearrangement. However, due to its sheer density, there are few known forces capable of altering its molecular structure.

The infamous phrase—“X fiddled while Rome burned”—has come to mean a person who is neglecting their duties, probably by doing something frivolous. X is painted as an emperor who didn’t care about his people, but it’s likely that he didn’t deserve such a bad reputation. This is extremely similar to the tale of Marie Antoinette- supposedly saying “Let them eat cake!” when hearing of the starving masses.
X is also the name of a popular software.

It is an outflow of an iron oxide-tainted plume of saltwater, flowing from the tongue of Taylor Glacier onto the ice-covered surface of West Lake Bonney in the Taylor Valley of the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Victoria Land, East Antarctica.
Iron-rich hypersaline water sporadically emerges from small fissures in the ice cascades.
The reddish deposit was found in 1911 by the Australian geologist Griffith Taylor, who first explored the valley that bears his name. The Antarctica pioneers first attributed the red colour to red algae, but later it was proven to be due to only iron oxides.

This mountain was "discovered" during the Great Trigonometric Survey of British India. Since it was not visible from the last villages either from the north or the south, hence it is thought that it did not acquire a local name. So, the name Mount Godwin-Austen was suggested, which was rejected by the Royal Geographical Society. How do we know the mountain today?
